This impact-focused workshop brought together researchers, designers, clinicians, and policymakers to explore how our urban environments, particularly in healthcare, shape experiences of care , and how design can better support health, dignity, and collaboration - looking at case studies from the UK.
The event was part of the Healthy Hospitals Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between London Metropolitan University and Newham University Hospital, which embeds an urban designer and strategist into the hospital to co-design and deliver healthy placemaking across its 13ha site.
The workshop featured short presentations from invited experts, followed by discussion and audience dialogue. The aim was to share practical insights from current projects in health and placemaking, to reflect on the role of spatial design, and to build collaborations for future research and impact.
Speakers:
Dr Rosie Rowe, Magali Thomson, Tom Ellis and Dr Akanksha Malik Jamwal
